Key

Set a musical KEY — a root + scale that other nodes follow (the shared key context). Wire its Key output into a Pitch node's Key input and your SUNG notes are constrained to that key: off-key pitches snap to the nearest in-scale note (so a slide between notes doesn't litter wrong ones), and the Pitch node's Autotune bends the voice onto the scale. A Pitch node with a Key wired reads the key from HERE, not its own Key/Scale dials — so one Key node can steer several. A pure CONTROLLER: it makes no sound; it just declares the key. (Wiring it to the Chord Progression / a Key Detector's detected key are later steps.)
